There has never been a self determined state called Palestine, but Roman, Assyrian, Ottoman & British. This post proves the land was aka Israel. https://www.bnaibrith.org/about-us/programs/for-culture-and-education/museum-and-archives/palestine-mandate-coins/palestine-mandate-coins-design-controversy/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_Palestine
